Gold Daddy Citrus Martini: golden clarity with a citrus edge
Crafted for those who appreciate minimalism in its most luxurious form, the Gold Daddy Citrus Martini isn’t just a cocktail – it’s an experience. Rooted in the crisp strength of Gold Daddy Vodka and elevated with the vibrant depth of premium orange liqueur and dry vermouth, this martini captures the essence of citrus in its purest form. Each sip is a study in restraint: bright, elegant, and undeniably sharp.
The allure of citrus refinement
Citrus has long been a pillar of classic mixology. From lemon twists in old-fashioneds to orange notes in spritzes, it has a way of bringing life and structure to a drink. But rarely is it handled with such precision. The Gold Daddy Citrus Martini draws inspiration from the Mediterranean – think chilled glasses under lemon trees, golden light, and whispered conversations. This isn’t a sugary detour. It’s citrus with intention. Dry, luminous, and utterly polished.

Tips from Gold Daddy

Use a high-quality orange liqueur for complexity and a lingering finish.
